This book is a must read. I cried like crazy and couldn't put it down. I have never read a book written from 2 different view points where I came out liking both women and could see both their sides so perfectly.

Here's the set-up:
By USA Today Bestselling Author Steena Holmes and Elena Aitken comes
their latest story sure to tug at the heartstrings of those who
understand the depth of a mother's love.
Nikki Landon walked away from her small town, Halfway, Montana, ten
years ago, with no intentions of setting foot there again. But, when her
mother dies unexpectedly, Nikki has no choice but to return, and this
time with the child she was trying to hide—ten year old, Ryan.
Becky Jennings is living her happily-ever-after. She’s married to
the man of her dreams and even though that means being the wife of a
Christmas tree farmer, she’s happy. There’s only one thing missing from
her fairy-tale life: a child to hold in her arms. After countless
miscarriages, she’s struggling to accept that might be one dream that
will never come true.
As teenagers, Nikki would have done anything to protect her best
friend, Becky from heartache, which is why she left. But ten years
later, there’s nowhere to hide in a small town where everyone can see
the truth of the secret she can no longer keep.
Could Nikki’s son be the child Becky has always longed for? And if
he is, can the already fragile bond between the two friends, withstand
the heartache?

One Reviewer Notes:
What an emotional story. It's short but packs a punch to the ticker.
Halfway to Nowhere is a story about mistakes and friendships and finding your way home - even if you're already there. Watching Becky and Nikki flounder about after ten years of absence in their friendship was tough, especially when the why of it comes out. It's not a shocker but it's not really meant to be. There were so many relationships woven into those story and yet I was never who is that? It was beautifully done and these two authors wove their characters together seamlessly into the story. I'm always amazed when authors collaborating on a story can do that. Where it's not two separate voices trying to be heard, but one story. Beautifully done indeed.

About the Author
Elena~ Like a lot of my readers, I'm a busy mom. It often feels like life is pulling us in a million different directions, which is why I love to write romance! There's nothing better than knowing you have an escape waiting for you at the end of a long day in the form of a good book. I'm lucky enough to live in the shadow of the Canadian Rocky Mountains in the foothills of Alberta, where I can write the stories I love. Whenever I get the chance, I escape into those amazing mountains and I can usually be found sitting with my feet in the lake, working on my next book. As well as sweet contemporary romance novels, I also like to write women's fiction and my collection of stand alone novels are all part of the Escape Collection. I'm always trying something new, so stay tuned to see what's next! I LOVE to hear from my readers! Please sign up for my newsletter at www.elenaaitken.com ////// Steena~ Now a USA Today Bestseller! Growing up as a small town Canadian girl, there wasn't much to do but ride your bike, hang out with friends on the beach and daydream. I always wanted to write but never dreamed it was something I could do as a career. I love to travel and fell in love with the sheep covered hillside, old castles and romantic history of Scotland and England. I dream about waking up in Tuscany and touring small town shops in the south of France with my husband, of placing my toes in the ocean and experiencing history first hand. As a mother with three daughters, I'm learning that teaching them to pursue their dreams is a lasting legacy. I love to wake up to the Rocky Mountains, will forever enjoy the taste of coffee and chocolate and can't imagine the day when a story doesn't unfold in my heart. Living a life with passion and pursuing dreams is a life well lived.

The story is based on a tale my grandfather told about a murder where a body was found floating in a swimming hole in a remote area of the Ozark Mountains.
